The diameter of the elastoplastic body will become larger, leading to the expansion of the elastoplastic body, and the volume of the elastoplastic body will overflow outward, and the inner cylinder runs inwards, and the bottom space is blocked by the baffle, since the space inside is certain, the elastoplastic body that expands outward and the inner cylinder that runs inwards collide and impact, leading to the deformation of the elastoplastic body, the damage of the elastoplastic body, the damage of the inner cylinder and the impact to the outer cylinder. The collision will damage the internal structure of the buffer, make the elastic performance of the buffer decrease, and the buffering effect is greatly reduced, the buffer cannot effectively absorb the vibration and impact energy, and the stability and reliability of the product are reduced.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0018] The utility model will be explained through examples and by referring to the drawings, wherein:

[0019] Figures 1-3 It is three different implementation structure schematic diagram of buffer in the utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] This embodiment provides a novel buffer, see reference. Figures 1-3 :

[0022] It mainly consists of an inner cylinder 1 and an outer cylinder 2, with the inner cylinder 1 axially connected inside the outer cylinder 2. An elastic-plastic body 3 is placed in the gap between the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2. The optional material includes rubber, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and plastics. This embodiment uses polyurethane, but it is not limited to this in practical applications; polyurethane, rubber, foamed rubber, polyether, etc., can also be used. A flange plate 9 is provided at the end of the outer cylinder 2. Under normal conditions, the elastic-plastic body 3 and the spring 4 abut against the inner wall of the inner cylinder 1 and the flange plate 9 at the point of maximum displacement. A spring 4 is built into the elastic-plastic body 3 along the axial direction. The spring 4 is cast within the elastic-plastic body 3 and is coaxially arranged with the elastic-plastic body 3, together forming the core elastic support structure of the buffer. A first gap 5 is formed between the elastic-plastic body 3 and the inner cylinder 1, and a second gap 6 is formed between the elastic-plastic body 3 and the outer cylinder 2. Both the first gap 5 and the second gap 6 are annular cavities surrounding the circumference of the elastic-plastic body 3. These two annular cavities provide necessary expansion space for the elasto-plastic body 3 to increase in diameter during compression. When the buffer is subjected to external force, the elasto-plastic body 3 undergoes compression deformation, and its diameter will increase accordingly. At this time, the first gap 5 and the second gap 6 can accommodate the circumferential deformation of the elasto-plastic body 3, preventing it from directly colliding and impacting with the inner cylinder 1 or the outer cylinder 2.

[0023] When the buffer is subjected to external impact force, the inner cylinder 1 will move axially relative to the outer cylinder 2, while compressing the elastoplastic body 3. During the compression process, the spring 4 inside the elastoplastic body 3 will be further compressed, providing additional elastic support force. At the same time, the elastoplastic body 3 itself will also deform, absorbing and dispersing impact energy. Due to the existence of the first gap 5 and the second gap 6, the deformation of the elastoplastic body 3 in the circumferential direction is fully accommodated and limited, avoiding contact with the inner cylinder 1 or the outer cylinder 2 due to excessive deformation, thereby protecting the internal structure of the buffer.

[0024] In summary, the structural elastoplastic body 3 buffer provided in the embodiment achieves effective absorption and dispersion of impact energy through reasonable structural design and gap setting, while protecting the internal structure of the buffer, ensuring its structural strength and elastic performance.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, to ensure that the axial movement of the inner cylinder 1 during the operation of the buffer is within a safe and controllable range, and to avoid damage to the internal structure or affect the buffering performance due to excessive movement, the embodiment carefully processes and sets an annular inner buckle 7 structure at the open end of the outer cylinder 2. The annular inner buckle 7 has appropriate size and shape, which can realize precise fitting with the end of the inner cylinder 1. At the same time, an annular protrusion 8 is also ingeniously arranged at the corresponding end of the inner cylinder 1. The annular protrusion 8 and the annular inner buckle 7 at the opening of the outer cylinder 2 are matched in size and shape, forming a reliable abutting structure.

[0026] When the buffer is working normally, the inner cylinder 1 will move axially relative to the outer cylinder 2 under the action of external force. As the movement proceeds, when the annular protrusion 8 at the end of the inner cylinder 1 comes into contact and abuts with the annular inner buckle 7 at the opening of the outer cylinder 2, an effective limiting action will be generated. This limiting action can clearly define the maximum displacement position of the inner cylinder 1, preventing it from moving outward further, thereby protecting the internal structure of the buffer from being damaged.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, to further enhance the sealing performance, protection effect and stability of the buffer structure, the embodiment sets a J-shaped dustproof ring 10 at the connection between the annular inner buckle 7 and the annular protrusion 8. In actual application environment, the buffer will inevitably be exposed to various dust, impurities and other pollutants. The existence of the J-shaped dustproof ring 10 can effectively prevent these dust and impurities from entering the interior of the buffer, avoiding their damage to the internal structure such as abrasion and corrosion, thereby prolonging the service life of the buffer. In addition to dust prevention, the J-shaped dustproof ring 10 can also enhance the sealing performance of the connection between the annular inner buckle 7 and the annular protrusion 8. It can prevent the leakage of lubricants and other internal media, ensure the normal operation of the lubrication system inside the buffer, reduce friction and wear caused by insufficient lubrication, and improve the working efficiency and stability of the buffer.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, for the structural design of the buffer, the embodiment innovatively sets the key parameter that the height of the first gap 5 is less than the height of the second gap 6.

[0029] The height parameters of the first gap 5 and the second gap 6 are calculated and verified through repeated experiments, so that they are perfectly matched with the deformation position of the elastoplastic body 3 at different compression stages. Specifically, when the buffer is subjected to external pressure, the elastoplastic body 3 first enters the early compression stage. At this stage, the elastoplastic body 3 mainly undergoes axial compression, accompanied by slight radial deformation outward. At this time, the first gap 5 serves as the initial accommodation space for the radial deformation of the elastoplastic body 3, and its size and position are exactly matched with the deformation state of the elastoplastic body 3 at this time, providing the elastoplastic body 3 with just the right expansion space to ensure that the elastoplastic body 3 can smoothly complete axial compression and slight radial deformation without colliding with the inner cylinder 1.

[0030] As the pressure continues to increase, the elastoplastic body 3 is continuously squeezed, and its radial outward size gradually increases. At this time, the second gap 6 begins to play an important role. As an accommodation space for further deformation of the elastoplastic body 3, it can fully accommodate the increasing radial size of the elastoplastic body 3, allowing the elastoplastic body 3 to maintain a stable deformation state during compression, avoiding structural damage or performance degradation due to excessive deformation.

[0031] By designing the height of the first gap 5 to be less than the height of the second gap 6 and matching it with the deformation position of the elastoplastic body 3, the buffer of the embodiment can achieve the following technical effects:

[0032] Improve the buffering performance: reasonable gap design allows the elastoplastic body 3 to deform more uniformly and stably during compression, thereby more effectively absorbing and dispersing external impact energy, improving the buffering performance of the buffer.

[0033] Protect the internal structure: the precise setting of the first gap 5 and the second gap 6 provides sufficient expansion space for the elastoplastic body 3, avoiding direct contact and collision between the elastoplastic body 3 and the inner cylinder 1 or the outer cylinder 2, effectively protecting the internal structure of the buffer from damage.

[0034] Enhance structural stability: the smaller first gap 5 effectively limits the deformation of the elastoplastic body 3, allowing the elastoplastic body 3 to maintain a stable deformation state during compression, thereby enhancing the overall structural stability of the buffer.

[0035] Expand the application range: this innovative gap design allows the buffer to adapt to more different working conditions, expanding its application range and improving the market competitiveness of the product.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the flange plate 9 and the outer periphery of the inner cylinder 1 are each provided with a fall-preventing ring 11, and the fall-preventing rings 11 are connected by a steel wire rope 12, which connects the inner cylinder 1 and the bottom flange plate 9, locks the two ends of the mounting base, and prevents the inner cylinder 1 from falling from a high altitude to cause a safety hazard.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, for the elastoplastic body 3, referring to Figures 1-3 The following three specific configurations are disclosed to meet the buffering requirements in different application scenarios:

[0038] The hollow cylindrical elastoplastic body with full coverage of springs: In this structure, the elastoplastic body is also a hollow cylinder, but the internal spring is completely covered by the elastoplastic body. This design can absorb medium to large energy at the same volume, and the buffering process is stable and has strong impact resistance. It meets the use requirements under various speeds and harsh environments, does not need frequent maintenance, and has a long service life. For impact objects with medium kinetic energy, this structure can exhibit high energy absorption capacity and has a good buffering stroke, can absorb large energy at the same volume, and realizes stable buffering.

[0039] The hollow cylindrical elastoplastic body with partial exposure of springs: In this structure, the elastoplastic body is designed as a hollow cylinder, and the internal spring is partially exposed outside the elastoplastic body. This design allows the bumper to not only rely on the deformation of the elastoplastic body to absorb energy when impacted, but also use the elastic restoring force of the spring to assist in resetting to some extent, thereby prolonging the service life of the bumper and reducing maintenance costs. For impact objects with small kinetic energy but high frequency, this structure can provide high-frequency buffering effect; at the same time, it can also accept impact objects with medium kinetic energy, has a good buffering stroke, can effectively absorb high-frequency vibrations, and realizes fine-tuning buffering characteristics.

[0040] The solid cylindrical elastoplastic body with full coverage of springs: In this structure, the elastoplastic body is designed as a solid cylinder, and the internal spring is also completely covered by the elastoplastic body. This design allows the bumper to absorb the energy of large impact objects, effectively resist large impact forces, have strong absorption and buffering capacity, and effectively slow down the impact speed. It comprehensively deals with impacts of different frequencies, has good high-temperature resistance, and has low maintenance costs. For situations where the impact object has a large amount of energy, this structure can ensure stable operation and efficient energy absorption of the bumper.
